Do your homework first...

I was VERY disappointed in this book for several reasons:
1). The author mentions the use of mineral oil and petrolatum as a moisturizer (for those of you that don't know these are byproducts of gasoline and are AWFUL for your skin, the cosmetic/beauty industry only use it because it is dirt cheap and never goes bad).
2). It is not practical to put your time and effort into making something for one application (will we really see results after just one use?). I suppose you can multiply the recipes but most of the recipes need to be used ASAP or they spoil. Needless to say I have not found a happy medium!
3). I have coarse curly hair- I tried one of the "hair packs" and needless to say it was a MESS! It took several shampoos to get all of the stuff out of my hair.

In conclusion, I would reccommend you research what products are actually good for you and not just convienient for the makers!

Awesome!!

I always wanted to learn how to make my own beauty products without all of the harmful chemicals that I always come across while shopping at a retail store. I have bought other books in that past only to find that it was incredibly expensive and almost impossible to find all of the ingredients, but not this one! I am able to make most of the recipes with the items I already have at home! I also love the fact that most of the recipes only require a few ingredients. The recipes are also extremely effective and the book also explains the purpose of each ingredient.

Great ideas

I love this book...I ordered a few of them to start making my own cosmetics after researching all the nasty things that are in what we actually cover our bodies with. Our skin is the biggest way into our insides and it affects us more than we even realize. this book has helped me come up with my own variations. Thank you for the very useful and helpful information: Easy to read, easy to follow and lots of fun, too. Great price too,Amazon.com!
